Corrections are nice, but shouldn't obscure the point that, at a minimum, Giuliani should have known that it was likely he was being used by the Russians. For example, ...
Check out what he said to the Daily Beast last year: "The chance that Derkach is a Russian spy is no better than 50/50."

And Giuliani's own client, the former guy, *was* in fact told by the FBI that Russian intelligence officers were using President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani as a conduit for disinformation aimed at undermining Joe Biden's candidacy.

Both knew or should have known what the Russian game was; neither gave a damn. Both allowed themselves to be turned into Putin's tools.

A year ago today, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told the public that health officials were preparing for a pandemic.

This made the former guy so mad he threatened to fire her.

I wholeheartedly agree with virtually all of the sincere sentiments expressed in this thread. We should be proud of the fine work and incredible dedication of the talented people who worked at the Lincoln Project, as Ryan describes. That said, ....
... there must still be accountability and transparency for the handling of the Weaver fiasco, as well as of LP'a finances. And the fact that so many who worked so hard for LP are now calling for this should not considered "pettiness" or a "vendetta."

Indeed, the people who gave their time, energy, and money to the organization are owed that accountability and transparency, and the Lincoln Project would best honor them by providing it to them.

I guess it's time to face facts.

Neither the Constitution's impeachment mechanism (except for federal judges) nor section 4 of the 25th Amendment (except perhaps for comas) really works.
I mean, we've now had two presidential impeachment "trials" in which a grand total of zero witnesses were called, and which will have resulted in acquittals, despite overwhelming evidence of guilt.
And for four years, we had a president who, by virtue of his psychological disorders, would have been removed from virtually any other job of significant responsibility.

For the record: No one ever told me of these complaints being made to the Lincoln project, and the first I ever heard that Weaver may have done anything questionable were rumors I heard well after the election, and long after I ceased active involvement with the organization.
And I never received anything of value from the Lincoln Project, save for one very nice $169 Rode NT-USB condenser microphone, which Ron Steslow kindly provided to me for podcasting.
I don't begrudge those who did receive fair compensation for their work; they were political professionals who formed a tremendous team that did amazing work, from top to bottom, from start to finish. And I'm proud to have helped do whatever I could to defeat Donald Trump.
